The 28-year-old mother-of-two referred for the first time to her meltdown two years ago, which included the head-shaving, the umbrella attack on paparazzi and her subsequent hospitalisation in 2008 over a custody dispute concerning sons Sean Preston and Jayden James.

Britney's ex-husband Kevin Federline still has full custody of the boys, although it was reported a few months ago that Brit was considering a legal move to restore her rights as the primary guardian of Preston, 4, and Jayden, 3.

"I'm learning to take better care of myself and not get stressed or down about things for nothing. I'm taking my time these days and not letting myself get under any pressure other than to just feel happy about myself and to work on my music.

"I want to show people I am a strong woman. I have a lot of great things ahead of me that I want to accomplish. I feel positive and much happier, things are looking good again. I'm learning to relax and not place so much pressure on myself."

And we're so glad to hear it and to have the princess of pop sounding better than ever.

Brit admitted that working on her current album 'Circus' was like a form of therapy, adding:

"I've been through a lot and I'm really excited by my album. I'm very proud of it. I really enjoyed the process of putting the album together and it's been kind of therapeutic for me. Music is such a huge part of me."

And fter all, the world of pop music would be a very sad place without Britney Spears in it…
